Americans for Prosperity, the conservative group partly funded by the billionaire Koch brothers, on Jan. 18 slammed President Barack Obama for rejecting the Keystone XL oil pipeline.

"We will continue to support private industry and job growth, even as the President blocks efforts like the Keystone pipeline that would create good paying private sector jobs and help our economy recover," the group said.

"Unfortunately, President Obama's idea of job growth is increasing unemployment benefits, which does little other than keep unemployment high while causing our national debt to skyrocket."
